Nahh, you're downplaying both the slash and Keith's reply here. The reporter was being stupid/provocative, but even with more context Keith's reply is no less stupid/sexist, not to mention that the slash itself was especially brutal

a butt slash on a player a few steps ahead of you is a chance to maybe get them to miss a shot. I'd hardly call it "Brutal" It wasn't light but it wasn't heinous. Nothing you haven't seen 1,000 times before in hockey.

So are we calling Keith a sexist cheapshot artist? is that the full description from Vancouver, or am I missing something?

From D. Sedin on the play

"Well, I scored, right?" he said with a laugh. "I don't know. I didn't really notice it and I haven't seen it so I don't want to talk about it."

Implying the reporter knows nothing about hockey because she's a woman is more than a little tactless, man. It has no place in hockey. It's just plain old sexism.

Come on, she was asking for it. Look at the way she phrased the question! Practically begging for someone to put her in her place. /neogaf

I mean, yeah, he could've used a little more tact when saying that, but really it's the reporter's fault for asking dumb question. Basically asking for a racist comment, deserved it with that kind of question.

since you guys are going to be obtuse I'll rephrase my point

But as for Keith … yeah, the “first female ref” comment was just begging for someone to crown him King Duncan, Lord of the Sexists. It's oafish and demeaning.
But I don’t think that was his intention.

His intention was to do what many pro athletes backed into a corner do, which is to accuse the journalist pestering them of being a clueless moron because they “never played the game.”

(Which must suck for science writers, who are summarily disqualified from opining about the Rover because they’ve never been to [expletive] Mars ...)
I’ve gotten it on multiple occasions. Every writer eventually does, whether it’s a player pulling rank or a coach doing the same. It’s waving the white flag in any conversation, no different than when a traditional media guy dismisses the opinion of a blogger because we haven’t marinated in the man-stench of a locker room as often as they have. (Some reference to “mother’s basement” usually follows.)

The “you haven’t played the game” card is played for humiliation, out of desperation, and frequently for the purposes of emasculation.

Ironic, then, that Keith would play it with a woman as his interrogator.
Again: He didn’t need to go with the “female ref” stuff. But his comments seemed much more in line with “you don’t know what you’re talking about” than “you’re disqualified from talking about this because of your gender.”

Its annoying because I dont think you knew the name of your own owner just a month ago.

And what is exactly are you bitching about here?

OH WOW A FANATIC OWNER HATES MY TEAMS DIRTY PLAYER AFTER HE ENDED THEIR BEST PLAYER. WHAT AN OUTRAGE, HOW DARE HE?

That's just sad. Even though he was one of the biggest dickbags ever on the ice, I still feel bad for him.

Players who saw what happened to Pronger and Marc Staal, and could have happened to Luke Schenn, and still won't put on a visor are playing Russian Roulette with their career.

Imagine the situation Nashville would be in if something like that happened to Weber.

Pretty much sums up where the hate is coming from which makes posting in here useless. I will do you a favour and stop posting so you can get that knot out of your panties.

Wrigley is essentially a microcosm of the condition of most (I said most, not all, Apocal!) of the city.

I don't know anything about Shameless but Wrigleyville is a nice area to live in (minus drunk bros/shitheads from Cubs games and surrounding bars). So if Shameless paints that area as a shitty neighborhood, idk.

I still might post in here but only after games and thats it. I don't want my other posts to give anyone a heart attack or stroke from all the stress it causes.

Also those guys were mean to Homer. He has heart.

Looks like Pens age has two of their own Tabris. How unfortunate.

My mood this evening will highly depend on how the Jets/Caps game goes. It sucks to know that so many other teams fans are very likely rooting against my Jets!

Point couldn't have been proven by a more special individual. Conveniently, you haven't paid much attention the last few weeks, or minutes even. When you're done cleaning the sneeze guard at your local casino buffet, check the last page.

sorry, the blues have been under the heel of the blackhawks all season, it's hard to notice you guys, sort of like when you step on a worm on a rainy day.
